The students journeyed back to the middle school this morning. The day started off with official introductions to the selected middle school students. The finance team led the “Ting” energizer. As shown below, Eddie thoroughly enjoyed leading the students through this fun introduction game.

The remaining teams focused on an activity with an underlying lesson, such as “Minefield,” shown below.

Each activity was followed by a discussion, similar to SLP curriculum. Here, Donald and Jay led a discussion on the importance of teamwork and communication in “Minefield.”
Donald and Jay Lead a Discussion
Both the mentors and students had a blast learning the importance of leadership through interactive games and in-depth discussions.
When the students returned to their own classroom, Mark, Ye, and Julian led their real-world entrepreneur scenario, Lemonade Tycoon. Mark programmed an original algorithm to determine the net profit of each entrepreneur group based on their supplies, prices, weather, and even special events, such as a local concert. Ye’s broadcast center and the busy supply store is shown below.

Students Bombard the “General Store” Before Closing Time
In this simulation, students learned the basics of starting a business, such as buying and trading supplies. Negotiation and adaptability were also vital skills. Students faced issues such as a lemon shortage, stimulus package, and even a population burst from a local concert. Teams worked within their team and with other teams to redistribute supplies and make the most profit.
Tomorrow, SLP will hold it’s official closing ceremony for students, parents, and Vanke staff.
Until tomorrow,
Jia
